We got it as early as April this year , then can this reborn new Fold resist the flag?
In fact, in most aspects, it is basically the same as what we have experienced before. Interested users can review:

Appearance&Screen&Accessories
It is believed that there is no need to introduce the appearance too much. The Galaxy Fold has a very long body and a weight of 276g. It is recommended to put it in a bag at ordinary times. The keys are the same, but now fingerprint recognition is no longer pressing. In the previous version, pressing fingerprint for a long time is to activate Bixby, but now it is pressing the power button for a long time, pressing the power button+volume down button for power-off, and pressing the power button+volume down button for a single time is a screenshot, similar to the iPhone.
( There are many accessories, from charging head, protective case to wireless headset Galaxy Buds )
( Inner screen )
( SubLCD )
The Galaxy Fold adopts a flip design, which is also the most eye-catching part of this machine. There are two screens in total, one is a 4.6 inch Super AMOLED screen, with a resolution of 1960 × 840399ppi, and the screen ratio is 21:9, which is very long. When the phone is closed, you can use this screen to operate, but the outer screen is still too small for most people, so during my use, the outer screen is only used to see messages sent by others, or to answer calls and take photos. More operations are still on the inner screen.
The Galaxy Fold's inner screen is a 7.3 inch super sensory flexible folding screen with a resolution of 2152 × 1536362ppi. This screen will also be used most frequently by Fold users. Compared with the Fold experience last time, Samsung has extended the "protective film" of the inner screen to the edge of the screen, and now it can't be seen, so users should be unable to tear it off, and also reduce the probability of failure.
Samsung said that the hinge design has also been strengthened this time. In the process of use, it seems that it is more solid than the one it has experienced before.
This inner screen is used for video and audio entertainment. The ratio is 4:3. When you enjoy beautiful pictures, you will feel a lot, and there will be more space to surf the Internet, read text, and so on. However, although this screen is very large, due to the problem of proportion, it is not so cool to watch a movie with a ratio of 21:9. However, you can use the external screen to watch (a dog's head smiling face). In addition, the bangs on the front camera will also have some impact when watching some full screen content, but it will be OK after you get used to it.
The screen is not particularly fine. After all, it is 362 ppi. Fortunately, the screen is large enough, so you don't need to look close to your head in many cases, so it is enough, right. As for the appearance, the super sensory flexible folding screen in the Fold is very comfortable( Comfortable! Low frequency PWM/brain tonic ), the color is very bright, which belongs to the type of flattering. The folding trace of the screen will be a little obvious under the irradiation of some light, but it cannot be seen in the dark environment.
performance
The Galaxy Fold is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC, 12GB memory and 512GB UFS 3.0 flash memory. This configuration seemed very sexy at that time, even now it is very enough. But since it has been so long, it would be better if it could be replaced with an 855+( The W20 5G can be directly added to the W20 5G if stronger performance and 5G are needed )。 Of course, the Snapdragon 855 is still enough today. It is familiar with daily use, games, etc., and 12GB of memory can also meet the needs of multi tasking.
It still only supports a single SIM card and can't expand storage through microSD card, but 512GB flash memory is enough. After all, my main computer, the 16 inch MacBook Pro, is only 1TB SSD, but it will be a bit troublesome for many users to only support a single card. After all, in this era, everyone will have several SIM cards and lead several different lives Connect with different circles.
charge
Unfortunately, the Galaxy Fold is still equipped with a 9V 1.67A charging head as standard. The measured maximum power is 14W, and the third-party charging head cannot break 15W. This power is a bit worrying. The battery capacity of 4380 mAh starts from 5%, and it takes a total of 1 hour and 51 minutes to fully charge. This speed can be said to be very slow. It would be great if you could charge 25W fast.
BTW: Both wireless charging and wireless shared charging are supported, and the actual measurement is used to It's very convenient to charge~
Special operation
The Galaxy Fold's 7.3 inch inner screen can open multiple apps at the same time. There are two split screen modes, three tasks on the same screen, or up to eight suspended apps. The latter experience is average. I believe most users will still choose three tasks on the same screen, and use it more harmoniously.
Another interesting function is the conversion of internal and external screens. When you use an app on the internal/external screen, you can continue to use the app on another screen after opening or closing the screen. This consistent user experience is very good, and it has also improved compared with April, because not all apps were perfectly compatible at that time, but most of the apps I use today, All support this function.
photograph
There are 6 cameras on the Galaxy Fold. Three back shots: 12 million pixel Samsung S5K2L4 main shot+12 million pixel S5K3M3 telephoto+16 million pixel S5K3P9 ultra wide angle; Front external screen: 10 million pixels IMX374; Internal screen dual camera: 10 megapixel IMX374+8 megapixel depth of field sub camera. It can be said that there are a lot of cameras, and it is no problem to meet the daily use.
summary
The price of BOC is ¥ 15999, which is definitely not an ordinary toy. The Galaxy Fold is quite innovative. If it were not for the "screen door" event at the beginning of the year, it would be a pity to believe that it would have a better performance in the market. However, it is undeniable that this innovation is still worth affirming. I personally like this concept, and when it is taken out for use, especially when the screen is folded in public, the turning back rate will basically increase, and the curiosity of others will also increase.
But will Galaxy Fold be the best folding form? It will take time to prove this point. Although the Fold screen is larger, it will be easier to open and use it, but whether users need a tablet or a mobile phone in their pants pocket is a question worth exploring, Anyway,awesome!
